This is a really easy Boxty recipe to follow. I've never sprinkled brown sugar on Boxty before, and I thought it was good. The first three that I made stuck to the pan quite badly, so I had to add a lot of oil to the hot pan so the remaining ones didn't stick. But it worked out well, and the remaining Boxty patties browned quite nicely after a few minutes of cooking. (They started out round but some--as shown in the photo--were a bit misshaped as I flipped them with my rubber spatula.) Thanks, breezermom!
